RESEARCH SYNOPSIS
I am strongly committed to leveraging my expertise in Geography, Public Health, Epidemiology, Environmental Health, and GIS to enhance drinking water quality and safeguard human health. My work focuses on the unique drinking water challenges faced by low-income communities and communities of color, where systemic inequities often exacerbate these issues. Through rigorous research and informed policy advocacy, I aim to uncover and address these disparities, driving transformative changes. My approach involves mapping drinking water quality issues and conducting studies to assess health impacts. Ultimately, I strive to create sustainable solutions that resonate both locally and nationally, advancing environmental justice and improving public health outcomes.
